  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Life begins at conception.

Isn't there a scripture where God says, I knew you when you were in your mother's womb ... ?

"Before I formed you in the womb I knew [ Or chose ] you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations." Jeremiah 1:5 (NIV)

This does not say that Jeremiah was a person while he was in the womb. Just that God knew him and of course God knows everyone from even before the time they are conceived.

Did no one read my first post!? (#53)
Weather its murder or not, is NOT the point, were not trying to be political here. No ones asking if its legal or not (because right now it is, no matter what u want to say) they want to know if its RIGHT or NOT "oh, its ok if im destroyng this thing, just as long as it doesnt have human life YET, WICH IT WILL" think! now go read my post! Jeeeeeeeeez!

sry, dont like to be skipped over....

(ive also just realized the topic is asking when human life begins, wich means that i am slightly off topic. Sry.)

Unlike the liars at Planned Parenthood who call it
" terminating a pregnancy ", i call it what it is:
the murder of an unborn baby. Maybe if people
called it what it truly is, it would stop.

None of those verses even imply human life begans at conception. Cells in a mothers womb can not leap when they are one day old.
Also, about 1 in 4 births end in miscarriage within the first couple months. Should we consider these deaths and have funerals?
Ouch!! That seems harsh, my dear fellow Christian.

You seem offended by my words. I was merely answering the OP question, not initiating a debate.

As far as Scripture, David claims to be sinful at conception (Ps.51:5). Does anything other than a living human being commit "sin"?

As far as medical science, as already posted, at the moment of conception, it meets the scientific definition of "life". As to being human, there is no point during the development before which science can say it isn't human - but only a human at different stages of development, no stage being less "human" than another.
